Yale in 1892. and married Margaret FIELD (1768-1824) in Ellington, Tolland, Connecticut on 13 Dec 1791. She was a daughter of Dr. Simeon FIELD & Margaret RAYNOLDS. Rev. Joshua began his ministry in Ellington and moved to New York in 1797 or 1798. He "was the first pastor who settled west of the present-day Oneida and Otsego Counties".[3] He was the first pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Cazenovia in 1799. [1] Rev. Joshua and Margaret had about 12 children.

Joshua was living with his daughter Helen WILLIAMS when he died in 1843. Margaret died at the age of 55 in German, New York, March 5, 1824. They are buried together in Cazenovia.[1]

A newspaper clipping recalls Charles visiting the old academy in his old age, though where he lived and who/if he married has not been determined yet, but it doesn’t seem likely he is our elusive Charles “Russel” LEONARD.

Illustrations from “Pioneer Times in the Onondaga Country”, by Charles Carroll Smith. Regarding the Old Academy at Pompey, says “Rev. Joshua Leonard was the first principal and under him began a phenomenal career of one of the most famous academies in the state”.

Joshua's lineage is published in the "Re-union of the sons and daughters of the old town of Pompey", p. 329-332.
